D&D 5E: Cretean Elder War Mage

Only a few elder war mages exist in Cretea, and they are powerful influences behind the scenes.

All of these stat blocks reflect the original design (for my Lingusia campaign) but I readily retooled these with a few modifications for units in other campaigns....I have derived, for example, Selindar units from these for Enzada with judicious replacement of equipment and some minor skill/power set tweaks.

Background

The elder war mages of Cretea are terrifying foes, ancient agents said to contain a direct lineage to the blood of the sun god Helios and so are excellent evokers. As the crème of the crop of battle mages, the few elder war mages rule their secretive orders and work behind the scenes with their network of spies to foment and embroil the city states in their secretive conflicts with one another.
